So. So many of us big name characters out here on the forums have mounts that will ride in character, such as my big ol' white horse or RD's wyvern.
So wouldn't it make sense for the large cities to have stable RP boards? -just gave herself a new character idea...damn it-
Seems fitting. =P

Stables as in horse stables or stables as in stability? I'm guessing its the former.

I'm guessing its the former. You seem to forget that I'm a member here. Oh ho ho ho ho! Anyway, if it is the former, I don't see why entire new boards would have to be made just for those when they could easily just be made into topics. |

Yes, the former.
The new board provides more opportunity. There could be stable hand characters, riding arenas, jousting arenas, and for that matter if we ever get more members we could start a sort of job application kind of thing, so characters could actually have jobs that made them money to buy special items or something at a forum store.
That's just me thinking ahead. But for a little bit of work you get a pretty interesting place to RP. You and I both have mounts RD, so that opens us up to meet at the stable while we're putting them away for the evening or giving them to the stable hand. They're pretty communal areas, trust me. =P

So basically you wanna make this site more complex than it needs to be?
Why would we need entire seperate boards for such menial things? They all could easily be in in either a single topic, or their own seperate ones if one insisted on certain events. And the job application and forum money things just seem outright stupid and too binding on others.

First of all DS. Stop being rude.
Second of all. It's not complex. It's one more board compared to the 50 or 60 other boards we have. And just by the way, the job and money thing isn't stupid or binding. It's actually a really good way to ensure consistent activity.
Next time you decide to say something come up with a way to say it that doesn't make you seem so rude. =)

Yes, no fighting here. Anyways, you both have points, but I'd like to wait until we see more characters that have mounts before I make more boards. And if more boards are made, Risk, I'll leave it to you to come up with description posts for them; you'd know stables better than I would.

You don't need to have a mount to be in a stable. People work there, people train on the horses that are kept there by the facility and not by private owners, etc. There's a lot of flexibility in it.

I wasn't trying to be rude. I was simply stating my opinion on how I thought your ideas wouldn't work. And yes, the money = job system is binding. What? Characters shouldn't be allowed to buy or posess things unless we specifically put that they earned/got it somehow? All it does is make the whole process more tedious. Why not simply put, "Josh bought a coke earlier" or whatever? Having tp earn the cash by getting a job just to get up to that point doesn't ensure activity, it just makes the process longer and more tedious, which, in my opinion, actually discourages activity.
EDIT BY R.D.: Let's not escalate this any further. Enough is enough.

Hey, guess what DS? You misunderstood the concept. ^_^
The job system makes money for the user, not the character, which they can use to buy graphics, or special titles, or other perks like that. It encourages activity because to keep that job you have to post at least so many times a week.
EDIT BY R.D.: I said, enough is enough. One more bit about the rivalry between you two and the thread gets locked.

Check the warnings in the posts you made, you two.

It encourages activity because to keep that job you have to post at least so many times a week. I find that even dumber. Just to get titles or graphics you have to forcefully RP and pay with pretend money? How does that encourage activity, or even other people joining? Hell, if you don't get an equal share just because your character doesn't have a registered job, how is that fair? |

First off, don't call it dumb.
I've seen it work on other websites that I was a part of, and people without in character jobs don't get cut out of that kind of thing, there are other ways to earn it as well. It's just a fun way to reward creativity and active posting.
Jobs aren't even the reason I posted this, so I see no reason to dwell on that fact. We haven't got enough members to consider it right now anyway, I was just thinking out loud. The idea behind it is to offer yet another place for people to RP in.
And by the way, why are you fighting board creation? It's not like it effects you either way considering the 60 other boards we have. One more that you don't care to use isn't going to hinder you in any way. Or are you just intent on keeping my ideas from being put into action as usual? =)

Having discussed this with DS last night at length, I can safely say that DS's concerns aren't to spite you. Now. I'd be willing to implement a rewards system if the member base was larger than it was right now, but as it is we're few and half of us can't attend regularly due to life issues, like Dranzer and Juno. If we could attract some more members than a reward system would become more feasible, but the logistics of such systems are something I'm unfamiliar with so you'd need to list out a system for me to read over later, in a PM or something.
As for a board concerning stables... well, they'd need to be in a city, but cities are large so a single, centralized stable just seems... unrealistic. Cities and the like would have many stables. I am, however, thinking of a centralized building that'd have more than just stables, so if you can come up with ideas to add to that, then I'll add a board and have you write up a description, Risk.

What kind of places are we talking about here? I mean, you could have an auction house, a stable, an arena, a theater, and things like that. Maybe an Inn. It'd have to be kind of "tourism central" almost.
